US Market View
U.S. stocks are seen opening marginally lower Wednesday, consolidating as a positive first half of the year comes to an end.
Britain’s economy shrank by more than expected in the first quarter of this year, as restrictions put in place to fight the Covid-19 pandemic closed many retail outlets.
Data from the Office for National Statistics showed GDP contracted by 1.6% in the January-March quarter, a bigger drop than the previous estimate of a 1.5% fall. This paled in comparison to the 20% slump in the second quarter of 2020 when Britain was in its first lockdown, as the successful vaccination program and companies ramping up their online presences limited the damage.
The ADP employment report is due, Didi starts trading in New York, crude pushes higher as OPEC members debate production increases while Wall Street awaits the end of a positive half year. Here's what's moving markets on Wednesday, June 30th. The ADP report may have a poor track record predicting the private payrolls count in the employment report, but it’s still seen as an important gauge. The consensus is looking for 600,000 additional private sector jobs, a slowdown from 978,000 jobs recorded last month.

President Joe Biden has nominated academic Amy Gutmann as U.S. ambassador to Germany, three sources said on Wednesday, as the two countries seek to rebuild relations that cooled under former President Donald Trump.Gutmann, 71, who would be the first woman to serve in the role and whose father fled Nazi Germany, is currently president of the University of Pennsylvania. Her nomination was handed to German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in mid-June, one of the sources told Reuters. If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Gutmann would replace interim appointee Robin Quinville.

Hold onto your hats, folks! The Japanese yen took a nosedive after the Bank of Japan (BOJ) left its ultra-loose policy settings unchanged, including its closely watched yield curve control (YCC) policy. But wait, there's more! The BOJ also removed its forward guidance, which had previously pledged to keep interest rates at current or lower levels. So, what's the scoop? Market expectations had been subdued going into the meeting, but some were still hoping for tweaks to the forward guidance to prepare for an eventual exit from the bank's massive stimulus
